The Chase Bar & Bistro

The Chase Bar & Bistro is a busy suburban bar and bistro at 13 Settlers Avenue in central Baldivis, opposite the Stockland shopping centre and an easy turn off the Kwinana Freeway. Dogs on lead are welcome in the undercover alfresco dining area, which makes it a dependable meal stop after a local walk in Perth's outer south.

The dog setup

Dogs join you at the covered outdoor patio tables on a leash, while indoors is service animals only. Staff are used to canine visitors and water bowls are usually on hand, though a backup bowl never hurts.

The alfresco deck is the busiest part of the venue on weekends, so arriving early for an undercover table is the difference between a relaxed lunch and hovering near the door. Keep your dog leashed and clear of the walkway between tables.

The vibe

This is a lively family-friendly local rather than a quiet pub: bistro standards like steak, parmis, burgers, chilli mussels and a pork belly, live sport on the screens, pool tables, live music and room for big group outings. Weekday lunches run a calmer room than Friday and Saturday nights.

Pepsi: the alfresco fills fast on weekends, so time your visit for a weekday lunch if your dog is still learning to settle around crowds.

Getting there

The address is 13 Settlers Avenue in the Baldivis town centre, directly opposite the Stockland Baldivis shopping centre, with ample free parking and simple access off the freeway at the Settlers Avenue exit.

Pair it with

Burn off the parma first at the Baldivis Fenced Dog Park, or walk it off after on the Nyoongar Trail. For a more casual pour with the dog, Limestone Coast Brewing on Arpenteur Drive has a relaxed outdoor area too.
